Hi there my people…

What a loverly weekend. I’m at work now.. looking out the window at the Potomac River.. very calm water today… watching the runners and bikers go on by… like an old Fashioned Lazy Sunday…. and I feel good.. Had a good weekend so far.. Spending time with my sister… seeing old friends (Corin AWESOME to see you girl! I can’t believe I brought my schnazzy camera and I forgot to take a dang picture of us! Argh!) Eating YUMMY pancakes with Peanut Butter/Honey, Bacon and Bananas.. Oh my gosh HEAVEN!!!)  Going shopping at Macys (looking for a dress for nexts weeks engagement session) and finding this AWESOME Sweater for $7 bucks!!!! Coming home to watch Rachel Getting Married  – really liked it. And ending our evening with a loverly dinner at LIAS chatting up with everyone… So nice to see Peter in his environment.  Today I did my usual Coffee/Paper/Sunday Morning Edition with my girl.. took this cutie picture of her on my lap. She makes my heart comforted… listening to her purr on my lap.. her little whiskers twitching as she has little kitty dreams.. I love her. She is my heart.

Isn't she the cutest?

ok feel like 3 things 2 things today:

3 things that make me happy:
1. Listening to my Sirius Radio (The CHILL channel) here on my computer at work while I do work. (yes, I’m really working.. just want to write a bit today)
2. Wearing my new shoes (I bought (3) pair for $60 bucks online last week – yes, i’ve become a bit of a shopaholic… meh.. it’s only because I feel so good about myself lately.. I want the outside to match the inside. Need to wait till it gets little warmer out to wear them.
3. My sparkly and beautiful Friend Roxanne Passed Her LEED Exam yesterday!!! WAY TO GO ROXY!!! I’m so proud of you!!!! Let’s get together and celebrate!!!!

2 things that I’m looking forward to today:
1. I am going to get out of here at 3 and go take a NAP!! An actual nap!!! I feel like I need one.
2. Peters bringing home steaks and we’re sitting outside with our neighbors tonite.. I just love our little group of people, sitting outside chatting it up.. It makes me happy in my soul.

2 long term things I look forward to:
1. Oh my gosh ~ Peter and I are having our engagement Session with our Awesome Photographer this upcoming weekend. I’m actually nervous.. I’ve never been the subject of dedicated photos before…. and yes.. while I like having my photo taken.. Michael is a pro… and an artist so I’m nervous that I do what is asked of me so he can create a beautiful shot!!! (And… Peter has a tendency to not keep a straight face so we’ll have to see how that goes!)
2. This week I’ll be getting in Disc 2 of Sigur Ros – Heima.. I can’t wait.. Just laying on the couch taking more of their magical music in… Ahhhh.

1 person I am going to appreciate:
Me. Long story but I have run into a road block with regard to getting a permit to have our wedding ceremony in Founders Park… (UGH!!) So I contacted the MAYOR of Alexandria and his office wrote me back this past week!!! I am hopeful to have it solved (in my favor of course) this week!!! Again.. my philosophy of  “What do I REALLY have to lose???” proves me right… NOTHING!!! I have nothing to lose!!!!!!

Ok my loverlies… I will end by saying that I am constantly inspired by the amazing Blogs that are online right now.. I could just swim in their inspiration and devotion forever… I want to focus on (1) amazing woman who has brought me to SO many other inspiring artists/spirits.. I am in awe of her.. her story… and her boho world. Please.. check her out as I pay homage to someone I deeply appreciate.

Much Love! Hope your having a great weekend too!!!
Kerilyn (and Pez!)

Hiety Ho my lovely lady and gentlemen bugs!

Ok.. well now that I have this gift.. the gift to be able to write you all when I want to.. on my own turf… I feel I must make use of this wonderful tool and blessing..

So… What’s up?

What’s up for me is that I have been home the past few days with a head that feels like someone poured concrete in through every oriface..making just doing my normal happy self things.. a bit less happy… So much to my chagrin I went to the Drs on Tuesday and it appears.. my human body ailment is… Chronic Sinusitus. But.. I believe that our physical bodys ‘dis-ease’ is the lack of an emotional and mental body AT ease.. so I saught out my wonderful Auntie to help me find the answer to my quandry….

And… my Auntie informs me that the reason for the sniff sniff cough cough aaaahhchooo! (THREE times now have I been down for the count with this dreaded concrete head!! Once every THREE months! Dang it!) is because I’m letting myself be irritated by someone close to me. And dang it if that isn’t true!!! Silly Kerilyn… constantly churning churning in my silly head.. curiosities.. and waves of intense anger… overcome me on a (dare I admit) daily basis… So.. the confirmation of why my physical body is saying to me  ”Yo sista… maybe if you stop irritating me with these fruitless thoughts… our head wouldn’t get all clogged up!” And I say to my physical person… I HEAR YOU GIRL!!!!

So I am on day two of my defragmenting my brain of unnecessary and unhelpful obsessive thoughts… that NO longer serve me. And I am proud of myself.. getting through day one! Yippee!!!! (oh… do you not know me well enough to know that I am thinking ALL OF THE TIME? What if this?  How can I…? What if that? How is he…? What is he/she thinking….? Boy I am so grateful for…..” It goes on and on and on…  Peter says that that is the reason why I do not remember my dreams.. because it’s the only time I have peace in my head. I have to agree with him.

Also what is up with me is…. I just sold one of my loverly Benchmark Greeting Cards on Etsy today! Yippity Skippity!!!! I am so happy to know that my card is one that my buyer has been looking for…that makes me happy in my soul. I am feeling this is an upward trend in my life.. “Order of “That dream of yours” card.. PICK IT UP! DING!

(can you tell i’m in a good mood? I think it’s all the concrete in my head.. i can’t overthink stuff right now because of the concrete.. so I have to get it our or I’ll BURST!)

Let’s see…. what else is up? Hmm.. Because of the concrete.. I have not run this week.. which bums me out EXTREMELY. I like to run and feel so proud of myself afterward.. a little touch of sexy and a smidge of “I think I can see myself getting thinner” on a daily basis so the fact that I have to go straight home..listen to Peters cat Bella cry and cry (DONT get me started!!!!) put on my pj’s and catch up on the rest of my Tivo Shows.. well.. it ain’t that bad but still.. I would much rather do all that AFTER I sweated and stuff.. (Maybe I need to start listening to music when I run so I can continue my goal of purging my obsessive and unhealthy thoughts.. HMMM????  I did just find a few awesome songs (thanks to wonderful Sirius Satellite Radio) that I uploaded on Itunes… that I can (and have) danced my butt off too in my bedroom.

Wow.. I’m really rambling aren’t i?

Oh well… I’m happy. I’m happy I can see the forest through the trees. I have wonderful friends, a wonderful man who is going to graciously bring me home dinner (Lobster Bisque – YUM!) that I get to kiss and laugh with which we do OFTEN!

OH!!!!! Let me NOT forget to tell you… I received in the mail today…

My BEAUTIFUL Camera Strap from the wonderful Em Falconbridge that I CANNOT wait to put on my camera tonite!!!! I’m almost doing a happy dance (sans the concrete in my head) to be able to show off my strap tonite! Wahoo!

Ok.. Okay.. I’m going to stop rambling now…. (but I like to ramble… don’t you know that about me?)
Nighty Nite.
Much Love.
Don’t let the bedbugs bite.
